ORLANDO – As more than a dozen volunteers were painting the exterior of her soon-to-be home and while another handful of helpers were working on indoor construction projects, a grateful and ultra-elated Shawntia Benton began envisioning all the wonderful things she has to look ahead to.
Beyond just thinking about how she is going to furnish the inside of the three-bedroom home or brainstorming some ideas for the front lawn and backyard, the 25-year-old is ecstatic knowing she is about to move to a safe neighborhood where she and her two sons can be happy and healthy.
